What we’re about
We live in a climate of accelerated pace of change. As a consequence we rush to short-term goals, neglecting sustainable outcomes. We must shift toward resilient and sustainable organizations that are quick to learn and adapt. SF BABAM is a community where we encourage you to be curious, share ideas, and explore the new patterns of a VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, Ambiguous) world.

See all- Human Robot Agent: Scouting AI Beyond Hype and DoomLink visible for attendees
Are software engineers headed for the end of coding, or will they have more legacy mess to solve than ever? Is AI eliminating gig work or enhancing freelance opportunities for everyone? Will algorithmic bosses enslave human workers or free them from traditional management? Is AGI already here or can we wait a while longer? And what role will humans have in the future of work?
This session unpacks highlights from the new book Human Robot Agent so that we can explore dilemmas, navigate complexity, and harness AI to thrive in a socio-technological and wicked world.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand AI's Role in New Ways of Working: Identify how technology reshapes traditional business structures and ways of working.
- Embrace Disruptive Innovation: Learn an actionable mindset to lead change and be the disruptor rather than embracing change and be the disrupted.
- Cultivate New Skills and Mindsets: Explore the shift towards multi-skilled (M-skilled) workers, critical thinkers, and adaptive leaders in AI-driven environments.
About Jurgen:
Jurgen Appelo is a radical synthesist, resolute unfixer, and unabashed rule-breaker. He not only brings together diverse perspectives in organization design and development—he tears them apart and rebuilds them for the Age of AI, without permission.As an author, speaker, and entrepreneur, Jurgen helps leaders stop managing like it's 2001 and start rewiring their organizations for AI-driven leadership, autonomous digital agents, and algorithmic management. Through stories, games, tools, and practices, he shatters conventional thinking and gets his audience to experiment with human-AI teamwork, anti-fragile structures, and the unpredictable nature of customer and employee experience.
Inc.com recognized him as a Top 50 Leadership Expert and Top 100 Leadership Speaker, but he's most interested in redrawing the boundaries between opposing worldviews: human ingenuity and artificial intelligence, inspiring leadership versus strong governance, organizational stability with relentless innovation, and individual growth fuelling collective success.
